Trailer Talk: ‘It’s a Wonderful Afterlife’

— by ROBERT DeFEIS —

“It’s a Wonderful Afterlife” takes the genre of Indian/British/American comedy and makes it work well. The trailer has some great scenes, which are pretty humorous. The film is centered on an Indian mother who takes her obsession with marriage into the world of serial murder.

Called a mixture of “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” meets “Shaun of the Dead,” “It’s A Wonderful Afterlife” will be produced and directed by the BAFTA and Golden Globe-nominated Chadha, who wrote the screenplay with her longstanding writing partner and husband, Paul Mayeda Berges.
